As part of it, the district committee of Dakshin Kannada has decided to hold the People's Political Conference on March 2, at Nehru Maidan, in the city”, he said.

Dedicated cadres of SDPI across the state have been equipped with the essentials required to give the People's Political Conference a lasting impression and making it a great success. Caravans, corner meetings, get-togethers, seminars, rallies, street plays, and public meetings are the tools that are being utilized by the well-trained teams to effectively publicize the events to attract the masses, he said.

“With 'People's March to Power', SDPI is heading towards each village and town across the state to empower the common people with the political awareness.

He also said that the so-called national and regional political parties like Congress, BJP, Communist, JDS, BSP, etc. have totally failed in finding solutions to the problems of the people. Of these political parties, some are being ruled by specific families and some by upper-classes and our administration is abided by corporate. Corrupt politicians are hurling in scandals of billions of rupees. Many of such politicians have already been to and are in jails for their immoral and corrupt practices. And many more such public representatives are yet to be welcomed in the jails for their corruption. There should be a full stop to the election of representatives who are corrupt and communal, he added.

He said, both Congress and BJP have the same kind of foreign policies and economic policies. Foreign Investment Policies are being framed by the Governments, which are in favour of capitalists and are against the welfare of the common people, he said.

Akbar Ali, General Secretary, SDPI, D K district, Nasir Sajeepa, Vice president and Abubakkar Kulai President, SDPI, Mangalore City Corportation Committee were present at the press meet.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.
